Namibia’s NamPower is planning to issue a tender for a 50MW-130MW concentrated solar power (CSP) with storage project in 2022

The project is expected to require investment of US$600mn-US$1bn, with a target commissioning date set for 2025.

The plans were revealed by NamPower generation projects head Grant Muller at the recent SolarPACES online conference.

Muller said the project was planned to be developed under a build, own, operate, transfer (BOOT) model under Namibia’s new Public Private Partnership (PPP) Act.  The selected developer will develop the plant and then sign a 25-year offtake agreement.

Namibia currently has an installed capacity of 680MW for its 2.5 million people, with 517MW of this coming from renewable energy resources and 122MW from coal-fired generation. Namibia also imports electricity from neighbouring South Africa.
